This saw looks identical to a panther 14 inch saw but it uses a 16-in from what I can tell the drive motor placement the rod underneath the carriage are all identical as well as the vice. The saw is clean-ish and new to me. However it did sit for probably 20+ years.
The problem the drive shaft will spend about six times and then the carriage will burst forward about a quarter of an inch to 3/8 of an inch and install while the drive shaft spins and then burst goes the carriage.
I was cutting very good petrified wood and that quarter of an inch burst was so powerful I thought the blade might bend I certainly cannot keep running it this way has anyone heard of a saw doing this @catmandew thinks I should check the spring on the dog feed nut I haven't gotten to do that but I did want to run it by an open form to see anyone else's ideas or if anyone is experienced this kind of behavior it's hard for me to wrap my head around threaded rod and nuts free spinning then then moving the carriage at a pace that is strong and swift.
